Trust upon the cattle markets and gen.

Just as safe. reliable and desirable as
the best securities Of any other kind.
IIy thi. consolidation Of the range cattle
interests into the Cattle Trust associa-
ton the securities that may issue by. or
through. this corporation will bc not
simply rs safe as one cattle grower or
cattle company. bu, rs safe rs all put
together. This result must cause FUR
,hcr result, namely. to inspire mistaken
confidence. So. that In the end the
general effect on th. range industry
must prove most beneficial. Again. the
beef product Of the plains will bc more
carefully utilized. and morr carefully
distributed. The wide margins bc.

and that paid By the beef consumer
may bc reduced. In union Is strength.

FOUND A TREASURE.
A Legal Question as to the G ustody
of Money Found.

A singular scene was enacted on
Washington avenue south yesterday
afternoon when the thorOughfare was
pretty well crowded with pedestrians.
Near the corner of Second avenue a
patrolman was on duty when C. NJ.
Steenbarger, a pretty generally
known inventor, passed by. At that
moment a purse lying ON the sidewalk
was seen by several persons, and
among others by Steenbarger who, being
nearest, quietly stopped and secured it.
1t was a buckSkin affair, and Its portly
sides gave evidence of its rich contents.
Steenbarger had on his working clothes,
and as the city is supposed to be filed
with SharperS, the officer deemed it his
fallen into honest hands. Accordingly
he accOSted Steenbarger and asked who
he was. He was told, but was no
wiser and insisted on Steenbar-
ger accompanying him to head
quarters. The inventor demurred
and declared he had done no wrong and
would hold the purse for Identification,
but he declined to produce it or go to
headquarters. The alteration drew a
crowd and there was considerable
anxiety to see the pOcketbOOk, as a re-
port was whispered ABOUT that 1t con-
tanned large sum. Presently another
officer happened along and the pair
took Steenbarger to headquarters, where
the scene was repeated; He claimed he
was the only and proper Gus
tOdian of the treasure trove
and would not even count the money,
though it was agreed he should retain it
until identified. Finally, when he said
he was known at the newspaper offices,
an officer was sent to accompany to the
GLOBE office, where he was identified
and the convoy departed. Steenbarger
had all along kept the purse tightly
taken it out, but ON leaving the GLOBE
Office he went to secluded spot and
opened the receptacle. 1t contained
not the expected roll of bills, hut only a
wad of brown paper. The mischieyous
authors are probably laughing yet.

FOR THE WINTER.
The Associated Charities Ready
for the Work.


At special meeting of the board OF
directors of the Associated Charities held
yesterday at 3 p. m, at their Office, 220
Washington avenue north, there were
present Hon. Lars Swanson, who acted
as chairman, Rev. r. A. TOrrey, Aid.
Albert Lawrence, Rev. M. Falk Gjert-
sen, Geo. ID. Holt, secretary, Mrs. Gen.
G. o. Van Cleve, Miss A. NJ. Henderson
and Miss Adeline Wetherbee. The
financial committee, consisting of Geo.
A. Pillsbury, Gen. A. B. NettletOn and
Geo. A. Bracket, reported through the
secretary of the need of additional sub
ScriptiOnS to the amount of $500 to carry
on the work the balance of the present
year, and they have prepared letter
addressed to the churches who have not
as yet contributed, in the hope that they
will do so and the amount be thus
easily raised. The action of the COM
mittee was approved, and the secretary
made very full and interesting report
of the work for the year, which seems to
fully Justify the language of Mrs. Gen.
Van Cleve: sit was astonishing how
much good had been accomplished by
Mr.. Holt, and almost unaided as he has
BEEN" The report was accepted and
adopted.
MISS Adellne Wetherbee resigned her
place as director on account of her in
ability with present work to properly
attend to it, and Mrs. NJ. B. Lewis was
chosen to fill the vacancy for unexpired
term, viz, to annual meeting, Dec. 6.
Mrs. Gen. Van Cleve introduced the
matter of paid missionary or paid
